Wow!!!

My honest opinion. At first when I started using this forum a few days ago I thought it was full of spammers trying to increase their post count to qualify for signature campaigns. But, the amount of information and help you guys put into this particular thread of mine proves that I was wrong. I really thank you all for the amazing inputs.

After reading all the inputs, I understood why transferring my funds to HW is important from security point of view.

But, I still have one question to ask. This might sound silly but still I have to ask..

How reliable are HWs in terms of holding funds for long term (maybe 5-6 years into the future)? Like HDDs/thumb drives failing to start or get corrupted, do HWs have any similar issues???

I know that having the seed key will help me in restoring my funds in case my HW is lost or damaged. But still I'm a bit skeptical about this cuz I've never used HWs before. To be honest, I'm still using legacy addresses cuz the segwit stuff confuses me.
